Purchasing
In 2010–11, with a small number of exceptions as reported in the Certificate of Compliance, ASADA complied with purchasing guidance in the Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997 and the Commonwealth Procurement Guidelines.
ASADA has a range of purchaser/provider arrangements, the most significant of which is with the Australian Sports Drug Testing Laboratory (part of the National Measurement Institute), the only current laboratory in Australia with World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) accreditation to conduct sample analysis for doping control in sport. The laboratory provides analytical and scientific services for our detection program.
ASADA has a number of additional purchaser/provider arrangements including blood collection and pathology services, the supply of collection and testing equipment, the provision of legal, investigative, education and training services, and the provision of call centre arrangements.
Our procurement framework guides staff in considering value for money, encouraging competition and using resources efficiently and effectively.
